Second Chance Lies

Verse 1

Saw you again after all those years,

Happy, nervous, hopeful—guarding my fears.

It was love at first sight, thought I’d found my place,

But now you’re cold as hell, numbness on your face.

Still heartbroken, scared, can’t trust this shit,

Wanted the old Jared—now he’s gone, that’s it.

Verse 2

Not long after, something changed so fast,

Had an appointment, got back, and the good times didn’t last.

Walls went up, cold silence grew wide,

You flipped overnight—left me empty inside.

Just watched it unravel, piece by piece,

Second chance slipping, no comfort, no peace.

Pre-Chorus

All the things I never said, wish you could care,

You changed for the worst, feels so unfair.

I’d forgive you tomorrow if you’d just make it right,

But your words still cut deep every night.

Chorus

Second chance was a fucking dream, now it’s a nightmare,

Gave you my all, but you just weren’t there.

Heart breaks louder than the things you never say,

You tore down my hope, pushed my faith away.

Gave you my heart, got scars in return,

Now I burn with anger, but I never learn.

Verse 3

I keep missing you, even though pain’s in the fight,

“Doing What She Does” still wrecks me at night.

Wanted a family, a forever and a home,

But I’m lying in the ashes—still all alone.

If you came back honest, I might try to forgive,

But deep down, I know that’s not how you live.

Verse 4

Letting go hurts worse than before,

After all these years, love slams the door.

Wish I never met you, but what good would that do?

Turned away from happy, trusting you isn’t true.

Your actions and words still break me inside,

Some days I’m angry, some days I just hide.

Bridge

Second chance felt like waking from a dream,

But reality hit hard, made me want to scream.

Control, confusion, and anger replaced trust,

I’m fierce and unforgiven—no more of us.

Rap Verse

You ran circles in my mind, left me fucked and lost,

Said, “Bye Jared”—still counting the cost.

Thirteen years loving what I’ll never get back,

Your love was a gamble, and I paid for that.

Chorus

Second chance was a fucking dream, now it’s a nightmare,

All I wanted was you, but you just don’t care.

Scream it out loud, I’m still angry, still alive,

Scarred and broken, but I’ll rise and survive.

Outro

No more lies, no more you and me,

I’m fierce and unforgiven—finally set free.

But no matter where we end up, no matter how far,

I’ll always love you, always wish on your star.

You’ll always have a piece of my soul and heart—

Even broken, even apart.
